Merle Henry Daly, 80, of Billings is missing and presumed drowned on the Buffalo Bill Reservoir.

Daly, formerly of Cody, was boating with a friend on the north end of the reservoir near the south shore when the accident occurred, according to the Park County Sheriff’s Office. Daly and Kay Becker, 77, also from Billings, had pulled along shore on an island directly south, across the reservoir from the Buffalo Bill State Park boat ramp. Both subjects departed the boat and went ashore to rest.
